Marseille security tested as French Ultras fight English fans on streets

Kevin Miles, chief executive of the Football Supporters’ Federation says that the English supporters were the victims of a planned attack by Marseille ultras, reported in the Daily Mail.“It was all fine until, our understanding is, a group of around 30 to 40 locals turned up, I think with the intention of provoking the England fans to see if they could get a rise out of them. In those circumstances, it’s the police’s job to prevent a confrontation and they used French methods to do so, which we’re not particularly used to.”.
